410. At the request of some looal merchants the Central
Customs, Tehran, have sanctioned the export of 2,000 tons
of dates of last year # s orop from this area. Kaji Kukhtar
Ihishir, the ex^Deputy of Bandar Abbas, was the only person
to oppose this deoision and protested to Tehran that there
would be a scarcity of dates during the ensuing winter if
this export was permitted. However, as the yield of the
present orop is estimated at 30 to 40 above average, there
will be little or no demand for last season's dates, when
the new crop is released on the market. Kaji Fushir's
action is probably prompted rather by his growing dislike
and jealousy of the Oellahdarl faction, who are rapidly
ousting him from his erstwhile position of influence and
affluence in Bandar Abbas, than any real interest in the
welfare of the community In this area.
411. Haji Mushir having failed to obtain election even
on the Funicipal Committee and finding also that his
position as a leading factor in looal politics is being
eclipsed, has now, with the hope of regaining some of his
influence, started propagating for the Hizb-i-Adalat
(Justice Party) which was first introduced in this area
by Sheikh Abdullah Dashtl, the cousin of Sheikh All Bashti,
the Tehran oeputy, during the Bandar Abbas elections. Haji
Ifuahir's campaign appears to be meeting with little success.
